Remembrance of things past: non-equilibrium effects and the evolution of critical fluctuations near the QCD critical point

Abstract

We report on recent progress in the study of the evolution of non-Gaussian cumulants of critical fluctuations. We explore the implications of non-equilibrium effects on the search for the QCD critical point.
